Westinghouse to run a design study for a possible AP1000 at Slovakia's Bohunice
From the Energy digest for Oct 29, 2026
What happened: Westinghouse is to carry out a front-end engineering and design study for the potential deployment of an AP1000 reactor at the Bohunice nuclear power plant in the Slovak Republic, World Nuclear News reported on October 29, 2026.
What's genuinely new: An early-stage engineering step that puts the AP1000 into a European siting evaluation — study funding and scope, not a build commitment. No unit count, cost, customer confirmation, or schedule appears in the reporting.
Watch: The study's scope and completion, the Slovak customer或 state role behind the project, and whether anything graduates from assessment to procurement, siting, or a licensing step.
